Learning How To French Braid Tutorial - A Non Traditional Approach
Over our years of "hair blogging" I think the most highly requested video we have been asked for would have to be a how-to on french braiding. There are many great Youtube videos on this subject already, so I recommend searching there as well. I realize that everyone learns differently, so it might be helpful to watch several videos until you find one that explains it in the best way for you.French braiding is one of those skills that is easy once you get the hang of it, but can be hard to learn at first (kind of like riding a bike!) It does require a lot of practice. I thought we would try a different approach for this video instead of the traditional method and I'm hoping this will be helpful!
How to french braid video:
When I first had this idea, I was hoping to find something that would grip the hair a little tighter and stay in place better, but was unsuccessful. As you can see in our video, our tricky tool (toe separator made by neat feet) really isn't the perfect solution. My thought is, if you can figure out how the braid is basically made while watching this video, hopefully it will be easier for you to practice with your hands and perfect the braid later.
How unusual but creative! I already know how to french braid, but this is a good idea for someone who is just learning! Thanks for sharing ♥

ReplyDeleteI love your hairstyles! There so cute and fun to do! I have a teenager who is always skimming through your posts trying to find something suitable for her. Do you think you can make a file of all of the more mature hairstyles? We would both really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteMy teenager would love that, too.

ReplyDeleteMy big issue with learning how to french braid is that most of the tutorials have somebody braiding on on somebody else's hair. The angle is different if you're braiding your own hair, especially since you can't see the top of your head. Do you have any suggestions for that?
I seen french braid video, its very creative and interesting. It is very beautiful and stylish hairstyle. Everything is perfect for this hairstyle. I will try to make it. It is informative post.
ReplyDeleteI like to do French Braid Tutorial hairstyle. There so cute and fun to do and this is a good idea for someone who is just learning. I appreciate for your work.
ReplyDeleteThis idea is genius!! I've watched nearly every video out there over and over and still couldn't figure it out! After watching this one just once, I finally "get it"!!! Thank you for posting!!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Thanks! I was wondering if you can do a Dutch braid with the toe separator, as well...
ReplyDeleteI can see what is going on for once!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow I think I can french braid now:)
ReplyDeleteNever been able to do this !!! Thank you. Such a smart way to teach it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was amazingly helpful. I didn't have to use the toe separator, but it was essential to understanding how the hair moves from one side to the other. Your use of this little device totally helped me to understand. That was real innovation that you used a commonly known item to help people understand how to braid. Thank you so very much.
ReplyDeleteI get it now! Thanks so much for posting this.
ReplyDeleteThis was so helpful
ReplyDeletei've always wanted to do this! thanks!
ReplyDeletejust maintain the middle layer with alternating right and left sides layers.
ReplyDeleteOh my.. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to brag, but I first watched the video once, then on the second watch, I got it! :') It's easier if you try it with thicker sections first!
Good luck, all!
